really simple way for this? Most of published methods that were armed
with 'easy' , 'simple' .... were
actually not like that. Looking for in -hand method that really works. 

Lambda miniprep

     1) Grow an overnight liquid lysate
     2) Spin down 1ml of lysate to remove bacterial debris
     3) Transfer 0.8ml of lysate to a new eppendorf
     4) Add DNAse to 1ug per ml and incubate at RT for 15 min
     5) Add 0.2ml of Tris (50mM pH 8.0) EDTA (10mM) SDS (5%) shake
gently and incubate 70 deg for 15 min
     6) Cool on ice and add 0.15ml 8M potassium acetate
     7) Spin down the protein precipitate
     8) Phenol-chloroform extract the supernatent
     9) Add 2.5 vol of ethanol or 1 vol of isopropanol to precipitate
the DNA

This can also be scaled up to process 8ml of lysate Hope this helps -
good luck
